MARES Unisex Adults SLS Slide and Lock Ballast System | Robust Zipped Pocket, Easy to use with Thick Gloves | Small Size with 4 kg Capacity

Diving belt with slide and lock system and pocket with zip MARES SLS SLIDE & LOCK SYSTEM – SMALL The Mares SLS (Slide and Lock System) - Small represents Mares' latest advancement in ballast technology, designed to offer divers a secure, intuitive, and easy-to-use solution for managing weights underwater. This next-generation ballast system features an innovative mechanical interference mechanism that activates during insertion, pushing the holding prongs into position and locking them securely. Once locked, these prongs prevent the weight pocket from accidentally detaching, providing peace of mind that the ballast will remain secure. When it’s time to remove the pocket, the system goes beyond simply releasing the interference; it also retracts the prongs inward via a set of sliding surfaces, allowing the male and female buckles to disengage smoothly and without resistance. It includes a large handle and an insertion tunnel on the BCD jacket that guide the ballast pocket directly into place, ensuring the male buckle aligns perfectly with the female counterpart. Designed with a 4 kg weight capacity, the small SLS pocket is both compact and durable, featuring a heavy-duty zipper that keeps weights securely stored. Constructed from high-quality materials, it is built to endure the demands of repeated dives, resisting both wear and exposure to saltwater.
